Hi,

A company I work for is evaluating the

Web proxy device.

When it boots it outputs to a monitor ( amongst other things )

Uncompressing Linux
..

INIT: Entering Run Level 2
..
Starting system log daemon: syslogd
Starting kernel log daemon: klogd
..
Starting webmin: webmin
..


Debian Gnu/Linux 3.1 Vital Security tty1

I can't find any mention of Debian in the documentation or their website

A member of my local LUG suggest I send this here. I hope it is of interest.

 There's no need for them to mention Debian. However, the source should
 be provided alongside with the device. If it isn't, and if there isn't a
 written offer to get this source, this is a violation of the GPL.

I can see no mention of the GPL on the website, though it does mention Linux 

.. The Vital Security Appliance Series NG-5000 includes its own operating
system, based on a hardened, secure version of Linux..
